Amazon doesn’t have to go far to find fresh tech talent.
The Seattle tech giant is hiring more than 100 engineers from the latest graduating class at the University of Washington Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering — an all-time high, according to university data shared with GeekWire.
The record-setting move underscores Amazon’s close ties to the UW’s top-ranked computer science program, even as the broader tech job market shifts amid the rise of generative AI.
Microsoft, headquartered in nearby Redmond, Wash., along with Meta and Google — which have major engineering hubs in the Seattle region — are each hiring more than 20 UW CSE grads.
